Student Assistant to the Social Democrats with a focus on communication and democratic projects

Do you want to help strengthen democracy around the world – and are you sharp at communication and engagement? Then maybe you are the one we are looking for.

About the position

The Social Democrats are seeking a student assistant for our work with international democracy projects. You will become part of a political and professional environment where we work to develop and strengthen democracy through cooperation with political organizations and local forces – both internationally and in Denmark.

Your tasks

Your primary task will be to support planning and execution of engagement activities based on the democracy projects in dialogue and cooperation with the back office in the Social Democrats, including information meetings and debate events at national, regional and local level in Denmark. In addition you will:

• Contribute to engaging and involving the party's backers in project activities, including planning visits for foreign guests.
• Write and edit articles, posts, newsletters and other communication materials.
• Coordinate and follow up on communication with staff and politicians participating in project activities abroad.
• Contribute to the ongoing development of the Social Democrats' communication about democracy work.

About you

We imagine you are studying journalism, communication or a related field. You are well underway with your studies, but still have a couple of years left. You may already have experience with communication, event planning or political work, but it is not a requirement. Knowledge of work in political parties and an interest in democracy work is also an advantage.

Additionally we emphasise that you

• can write clearly, vividly and targeted to different audiences.
• have a systematic/structured view of planning, coordination and follow-up.
• are curious about politics and motivated by working closely with both staff, politicians and volunteers.
• can work independently while also contributing constructively in a team.
• are outgoing, good at building relationships and can follow up on agreements.

We offer

You will have a varied everyday life at Christiansborg in an engaged environment characterized by teamwork and a short path from idea to action. You will get close to the Social Democrats' political work and organization and have the opportunity to gain experience with communication, political advocacy and democracy projects. You will have close collaboration with our experienced international consultant, as well as learn from the different professional disciplines of your new colleagues.

The position is 7 hours per week - initially located on one work day per week - with the workplace at the Social Democrats' party office at Christiansborg. Working hours are arranged with regard to your studies, and there may be work in connection with meetings outside normal working hours.

Application and further information

Apply no later than Oct 19. We expect to hold interviews Oct 23, and start as soon as possible after agreement.
